2.1. The modules

VLC uses a modular system, which allows to add easily new
fonctions and formats. Here is a description of nearly all the VLC
modules. A few "internal" modules won't be explained here. For a
complete list of all VLC modules, please have a look at the LIST file
in the subdirectory "modules" of the VLC source tree.

If you installed VLC through a binary file, you will get
the default modules. If, however, you want to customize VLC to your
needs, you will have to compile VLC from sources.

If you don't intend to compile VLC and want
only the regular functions, reading this part is not very
useful.

The compilation itself is explained in the next chapter.

If you wish to compile a module which is stated
disabled by default, you have to launch the
configure script with :

% ./configure
--enable-module_name

On the other hand, if you would like to disable a module
that is enabled by default, you would have to use :

% ./configure
--disable-module_name

Each VLC module has its own help and options. To see
what options are associated with a module, use :
